Kabir asked me why I was single, after Nishi asking the same question to Shaurya, which both of us were not interested to talk about, but we couldn't lie either so I told him

"There was a guy I liked, I even proposed him, but he said no"

"Who said no to you Sanya?" Sambhav interrupted in between

" From what I remember you were dating Dhruv and then you were the one who broke up"

" Because we had to focus on our career Sambhav" Dhruv said, (maybe covering up for me)

" But who was the lucky guy who got proposed by you and was dumb enough to say no to you" Kabir asked

" Let's forget the past guys, we all are here together right now, let's enjoy the moment" I said to change the topic

" Ya we should enjoy ourselves" Nishi said

" So let's go to the dance floor" Dhruv said

" You guys go on, I will just get some water" I said walking out of the room to get myself some time away from these conversations.

I was filling a glass with water when Shaurya said from behind

"Wow Sanya!! You have got amazing convincing skills that Dhruv is still convinced you left him to focus on career"

I didn't wanted to have this conversation so was going in the room when Shaurya held my arm and said

"You can't go like this I am talking to you"

" I thought walking away was a way of talking Shaurya" I said taking my hand back

" And by the way I am not interested in talking to you, so please let me go"

" Like you listen to someone, you always do what you want to do, no matter what the other person thinks, feels or want, you will always do what you feel like , I just don't know how can someone think so highly of themselves " Shaurya said interrupting me and then slammed his hand on a nearby pillar

" Like you think about others before taking decisions " I said turning him from his shoulder to face me

" Look in my eyes and say you even for once care about what the other person thinks, what they feel, what they want, you just use them just the way you used Aditi" I said furiously

" Like you didn't used Dhruv" he said with a angry face and loud voice

"Shaurya" I shouted at him

" What Sanya?"

"Nothing Shaurya" I said and was about to leave when Shaurya grabbed my shoulder and placed me next to the pillar and stood just in front of me and said

" This is what you do just take revenge, by saying no because I said no, by walking away from conversations because I walked away from a conversation. You know what Sanya, what only matters to you is your ego and your satisfaction nothing else does"

"And what matters to you Shaurya? How can you be such a hypocrite? Your self-respect is self-respect and my self-respect is ego, your reaction is a reaction and my reaction is revenge, your no is no, and my no is selfishness, ego satisfaction. Wow, Shaurya wow!! You are calling me revengous, who himself dated Aditi just to take a revenge "I said poking my finger in his shoulder and taking him to the next pillar with him nearer to the pillar and me in front of him

" If I am this wrong just go inside and tell everybody I was the person who said no to you, I was the idiot guy who said no to a girl, that to a girl like you, just go " he said coming forward

" Why don't you go inside and tell everyone that I was the girl to say no to the most wanted bachelor here , just go and tell everyone , tell everyone that I was the tyrant , you can't right , because you are scared of Dhruv, you are scared of Aditi , you are scared of everyone Shaurya, accept it that you are fearful"

" Yes, I am fearful, but what are you Sanya , the fearless, the rule breaker who just want to do everything by herself"

" Yes Shaurya I want to do everything by myself "

"Fine"

"Fine" finally the intense fight came to a pause and we both went back inside.

After the conversation, I thought of talking to Sanya about this one more time, but we can never talk, and just ended up fighting, but this time it was not a regular one but an intense one, which was maybe needed to take out all the frustration and other negative feelings out and letting ourselves look ahead of them, but maybe this even increased our differences.

I was still in this confusion in my head when we entered the hall back. Just before we could talk to our friends one of our professors came and said

" Attention boys and girls, the Dean is here to give the titles of Mr. and Miss Fresher of today's night"

"Hello Ladies and Gentlemen" the Dean said

"So good to see all of you so nicely dressed and enthusiastic for your upcoming years with us, now directly coming to the point let me tell you the much-awaited results, So the winner of the title of Mr. Fresher is Shaurya Malhotra"

I was shocked when the Dean took my name. Everyone was clapping my friends pushed me to the stage where they made me wear a Greek style Tiara and a sash which said "Mr. Fresher 2021".

Shaurya won the Mr. Fresher, of course, no one here deserved it more than him, but I didn't know what to express, after all the clash we just had. So, I just clapped like everyone else and after all we had the same group of friends, so, by a happy face or a cranky one, we had to confront each other. I was just thinking all this when our Dean said

"And now for the Miss Fresher's Title, so the winner of the title of Miss Fresher is Sanya Agarwal"

I was still digesting the statement when the sound of claps filled my ears. I really didn't know how to react when Nishi and Dhruv literally pushed me towards the stage. The Dean made me wear the crown (or basically a tiara) and a sash with "Miss Fresher 2021" written on it.

"Congratulations to both of you Sanya and Shaurya for winning the title of Mr. and Miss Fresher 2021, let's give a huge round of applause to both of them" the Dean said turning towards the audience.

We both awkwardly shared a glance and then faced the audience, and then were following the Dean down the stage when Kabir shouted

" Wait, Shaurya since you have won the title today we all would love to hear something from you, please sing for us now"

" Yes, and I think Sanya you should play guitar for all of us , please" Nishi said, and then everyone started shouting are names
"Sanya"
"Shaurya"
this was all we could hear from the crowd
" If they all are insisting so much I think you would be great in your respective fields , now even I want to hear from both of you" the Dean turned towards us and said

" Okay, we will" both of us said together after being insisted by everyone
" Which song?" both of us asked together turning towards Kabir and Nishi
" The one you were singing that day" Kabir said abruptly
" No, they should perform the one Sanya was playing that day"

Nishi interrupted Kabir

" The one Shaurya was singing"

"The one Sanya was playing"

they both continued this until Dhruv said

" Name the song guys and let us decide"

"Rubaroo" both of them said together and started laughing

" See the conflict is over" Sambhav said

" So now they are performing Rubaroo" he continued turning towards us.

We both looked at each other and took a deep sigh.

"I will get my guitar" I said to buy both of us some time

"Here, it is" Nishi said giving it to me

"I packed it so we don't get late in going home and here it comes handy" she said handing over the guitar to me.

I put it around my neck while Shaurya grabbed a mike and then we started

"................. Behja Nee Akhiyan De Rubaroo Reh Jaa Nee Akhiyan De Rubaroo Behja Nee Akhiyan De Rubaroo Reh Jaa Nee Akhiyan De Rubaroo............"

As we finished everyone started clapping and appreciating.

"Well, done guys"

"Both of you were on fire"

"You both were amazing"
" Great job guys" We could hear everyone saying that as we got down the stage thanking everybody.

"Okay, so now since Sanya and Shaurya have won the titles today they are treating us for the after party" Kabir said

"No, no after party please, I am already really tried" Nishi said almost falling on me.

" Okay, let's do one thing, let's head home right now, and then Nishi can sleep and we can have a house party as a after party" I said holding Nishi

"Perfect plan" Sambhav said rotating the keys in his hand

"You mean we all should head to all four of yours' house?" Kabir asked

"Ya, since you and Nishi belong here and live with your parents, I think that's the only house we can party in" I said

"Come on bro, consider it your home only" Dhruv said patting Kabir's shoulder.

"We should go home now, even Shaurya is sleepy" Sambhav said patting Shaurya's back since he has been silent for all this while.

Shaurya nodded in a no with a smile, and said" I am not sleepy, but I think it's late so we should go home and Nishi is sleepy anyways".

As Shaurya said this, we all walked in the car and headed towards home.

When we reached home, to our surprise, Aditi, Urvi, Shruti and Abhinav were standing outside the door. I knew they were up to something when Urvi told me they had holidays for a week, but I never thought they would come here and that too today.

What will these four coming back cause? What will be the new drama? How will they treat Nishi and Kabir? How will Nishi and Kabir react to them?

Wait...... before you go to the next chapter hear me (the narrator )who asks questions at the end of every chapter has something to say

"Ik baat honthon tak hai jo aayi nahi,

Bas ankhon se hai jhaankti

Tumse kabhi mujhse kabhi

Kuch lafz hai who maangti

Jinko pahen ke hoton tak aa jaaye woh

Awaaz ki baahon mein baahein daalke ithlaaye woh

Lekin jo ye ik baat hai

Ehsaas hi ehsaas hai

Khushboo si hai jaise hawa mein tairti

Khushboo jo be awaaz hai

Jiska pata tumko bhi hai

Jiski khabar mujhko bhi hai

Duniya se bhi chhupta nahin

Yeh jaane kaisa raaz hai"

A dialogue from movie "Zindagi na milegi dobara"

I wrote it here because I thought these are the feelings of our own Sanya and Shaurya, because every time they try to talk, they don't get the correct words and they start hating each other even more. But will this be how it will end? What will happen to bring them closer? Will they even get closer? Will Dhruv and Aditi let that happen? Carry on reading to get to know.
